Seaside Reef has playable waves with solid energy thanks to a good swell angle and a strong pulse. The swell direction is a bit outside the ideal window but the surf period keeps sets punchy and well-formed. The tide is dropping around 3 feet now, which is excellent for the reef, creating clean shaping waves. Northwest winds in the 5 to 15 mph range bring fair sideshore conditions, though the wind impact is trending worse as the afternoon goes on.
